[AT] cold Farmall

[Ron Cook]

John,
     That is my suspicions, too.  It does have a starter, so cranking 
doesn't happen all that much.  It is currently two below zero and there 
is no way it would have starting spark were I to venture out and try 
it.  I just threw another log in the stove.  I'm gonna stay right where 
I am.
